I 1000% stole this idea from @save_the_arctic
When you lock eyes with your soulmate, time stops for 24 hours, except for you and your soulmate. You can't really touch anyone, and everything goes back to the way it was when time was frozen except you and you your soulmate. You can't hurt people, you can't steal. Some people never meet their soulmates. Most are around the same age, live in the same city or at least country. And some aren't so lucky. I don't try to fine my soulmate. But if I find them damn will I be happy. My mother never got to marry hers. My father her soulmate died before I was born. Some car accident. She doesn't talk about him much but she does tell me about what it was like locking eyes. For a second you don't feel like anything changed but then an explosion of feeling surges through your body. She said it was like getting the breath knocked out of you but in a good way.
I was walking with a hot black coffee in my hand with extra sugar. Like I always get. I like the richness of no cream but plain black coffee isn't my favorite.
I saw a boy with green hair, I didn't look into his eyes yet. Not at that moment. I've seen him on the news. He goes to UA. But it's summer now, so I'm guessing he's trying to not be recognized.
Then I looked into his green eyes and he looked into mine.
There have been people that almost never looked into their soulmates eyes. They skipped them up or weren't in sync. Later they locked eyes though. The only way you know is when you see them an they see you for the first time. There is no science behind it. Just raw fate.
All the air left my lungs. I could tell he was thrown back by it too. It's not everyday time stops. Well it does. But not for you.
"Holy panolie." I mumbled. He laughed at me.
I blushed. We both looked around to see everyone stopped.
"Woah." We both said.
We looked at each other.
"Hey." I told him awkwardly. The weird thing about this is that you've never really met them before.
"Hi." He stuttered.
"I'm y/n l/n." I told him at a loss for words.
"Izuku midorya." He told me sticking out his hand to shake. But I went in straight for the hug. He hugged back. That's the best feeling when someone's not expecting a hug but they hug you back anyway.
He was really cute. And I felt his muscles through his shirt as he squeezed my narrow frame. He was taller then me but not super tall. He smelt clean but no fragrance. He had cute freckles and Scars along his arms.
"We should probably let go now." He told me.
"Yeah! We need to spend our 24 hours wisely!" I told him stepping back. He was blushing and it sure I was too. The heat coming from my face and well, my whole body was definitely noticeable. But he's the only one that. Can see it. Everyone else is just gonna stay here frozen.
"What do you want to do?" He asked.
"No clue, but it's gonna be great." I told him. He smiled at me.
We decided it would be fun to walk and talk. The wind didn't stop though. we wouldn't get tired either, it's the beauty of this type of thing. I can spend an actual 24 hours with him and not have to say goodbye. The leaves were moving but none dare fall off. We could move things but if they didn't stop with us they'll just end up going back to we're they were. Like I can't change out of my cloths and expect them to be there when time starts again. Ill be wearing the cloths I saw him with. We came across some swings and sat down. We saw each other in the early morning. The sun out but it was cool and the air was moist (hate that word) but the burst of energy was keeping me going as we rocked on the swings. (Bc apparently swang isn't a word)
We knew a lot about each other now, but the good things, we don't want to spoil our day with sad memories.
I saw a 23 in my vision. And hour already. I'm sure he saw it to.
"Come on, I have a great place." I told him grabbing his hand.
I took about 5 minutes to walk from the playground to my spot in the woods. Right next to a 4 meter cliff. It's not that much but sometimes I jump off of it into the semi deep water of the pond.
I played music on my phone and we talked. And danced. Laughed. Had fun, basically what you'd expect from two teenagers that found their soulmates. We were dancing to my music when I ran into him. He settled his hands on my waist to keep me from falling. He kept them there for a while. I pulled my arms around his neck and locked my fingers. Our body's were so close together I could hear is breath increasing in speed.
"I could stand here for the next 20 hours with you." He told me. He was right. 4 hours had passed already.
His quiet words made my heart flutter the tingle of his breath gliding across my ear. I tucked my face into the crook of his neck and he sat his chin on top of my head after placing a kiss on my forehead. Both of us nervous I decided to strike up a conversation.
"I'm glad it paused in the morning, when it's the afternoon the light doesn't hit as well here." I told him. I heard an amused breath leave his lungs.
"You'd look beautiful in any light." He said a little zoned out. He then realized he said it out loud and apologized for being so forward.
"Don't apologize, the morning lights giving you a nice glow. I saw you on the news one time and I thought you were the cutest." I told him.
He blushed a little.
"And then I thought 'I'm never gonna meet him, and it's not like he's my soulmate or anything' and here we are" I laughed. He chuckled. I took in a deep breath wanting to stay with him like This for more then 24 hours. Forever.
"I've seen you before getting coffee. I was hoping you'd see me. And we'd lock eyes and find out if it was ment to be. I didn't know your name or anything but sometimes I walk down that road to see you." He told me.
Damnit I'm always on my phone!
When time unfroze we'd be where we saw each other first. everything would be completely the same. Except it wouldn't.
We partially separated so I could see his beautiful green eyes. You can only know if their your soulmate if you meet each others eyes in person. Or I would've known it was him a while ago.
"My turn to show you something." He told me.
I looked up at him he was smiling, wind blowing through his hair.
He took me to a clearing of flowers, beautiful really, with all the colors of the rainbow.
"This is amazing." I told him.
"Yeah, I usually can't come here without getting allergies but now that times stopped. I don't think it'll effect me." He told me. 19 hours left.
We ended up just laying in the grass. Talking laughing.
"So you know what my quirk is." He started.
I nodded knowing where this was going.
"What's yours? If you don't mind me asking." He told me.
How was I gonna tell him that I don't have one.
I guess I'll have to tell him straight up.
"I don't have one. I'm quirk-less." I told him.
He seemed a little surprised.
"I get it." He told me putting an arm around me.
I looked at him confused.
"I need to tell you something. And you can't tell anyone else." He said to me seriously.
"I'm listening." I told him.
"I was born quirk-less too, and the quirk I have isn't necessarily mine." He said.
I sat up, "huh?"
"I have a quirk called one for all, it's passed down through generations." He said.
I tilted my head.
"Okokok, That doesn't make any sense." I told him.
"Back when quirks just started showing up one for all was just a quirk that could give people quirks, but it got more powerful as it was passed down." He told me.
"Who gave it to you?" I asked just now getting the whole premise.
"You're gonna think this is crazy."
"Bet." I told him as he sat up too.
"All might."
"WHAT?!" I jumped.
My second favorite hero. All might, gave him his quirk.
But guess who I first is.
GUNHEAD! yessir! I like his helmet.
"But he still does hero work sometimes..." I said thinking way to hard.
"It happens slowly. But he's weaker then he was before." He told me.
I hugged him.
"Thank you for telling me." I said stuffing my face into the crook of his neck.
He squeezed back harder then I hugged him. I was gonna have a hug war but then I realized he would probably win.
I'm not going to lie. I was a bit jealous. I wanted to be on the special police force. People with strong quirks that didn't get into hero schools usually used that as something to fall back on. But I wanted to be one since I could remember. My mother always told me my dad was on it. He was in a police chase when the car ran into a bump causing it to fly off the road.
"I know we just met. But I'm so glad you're my soulmate, I feel like I've known you forever as stupid as that sounds." He told me.
"It's weirder that I feel the same, I just met you and I feel like I could tell you anything." I said to him hugging tighter into his chest.
18 hours left.
We laid back down into the grass, talking, eventually there was 12 hours left. How we laid in the grass for 6 hours I have no idea it flew by so quickly.
I know what type of person he is now. Even with him being quirkless he didn't give up, he eventually got the power to become a hero like he's wanted to for so long. Maybe my mistake was giving up on my dream. We went back to my spot in the woods. We walked around town for an hour before that though, looking at the faces of people frozen. Not knowing anything about us.
We talked with our feet hanging off the edge for another hour. 10 left. Got it felt like only 30 minutes ago I was drinking my black coffee not knowing I'd meet my soulmate. I saw the coffee cup that I left by the tree. Ha. Takes me back. That's a joke.
I looked up at his smiling face. Looking off into the water.
14 straight hours I've spent with this boy and I still don't know how I'm not tired of him.
He looked down at me while I was staring at him. I blushed and his face turned a little pink.
"I have a game." I said suddenly.
"What is it?" He asked.
"It's a type of chicken, not the kid where you ride on someone's shoulders." I told him.
"Go on." He said.
"We both stand about 5 meters away from the edge and the first one to stop walking toward it looses." I said to him.
"What's the winner get?" He asked.
"Bragging rights and the rest of my coffee." I told him.
"Okay." He said nervously. He's also the nervous type. We stood where we were we were supposed to.
"Go." I told him.
We each put one foot in front of the other walking at the same speed.
We were about a meter away from the edge. (I'm using meters because America's measurements are shit)
He stayed pace with me. We were at the edge and he stopped I was about to step off the edge because I've done it before and I've always been fine but he grabbed my hand before I could fall.
"Okay! You win, don't actually get all wet!" He told me.
"Thats the point of the game."
"No the point of the game is to see if you would do it. And you were going to if I didn't stop you." He told me.
"Touché." I told him stepping back into his arms.
"I have another game of chicken." I told him.
"What?" He asked.
"We both lean in and the person that stops first looses." I smiled.
His face turned red, at his reaction my face matched his I'm sure.
"Unless you don't want to!" I told him quickly.
"No! I think it'll be fun!" He told me.
"Go." I told him.
We both leaned in slowly before our noses were practically touching. But neither of us stopped. Our lips were almost touching before both of us paused.
"I want to, it's just this is my first kiss." I told him.
"Mine too." He said.
Our lips touched softly, I barely it but it made it that but better.
I hugged myself into his chest resisting the urge to do it again.
9 hours.
We were talking, swaying in the clearing.
8 hours.
We sat down, talked some more I drank my still hot coffee.
7 hours.
We kissed again, it was great.
6 hours.
I don't know how but in his warm arms I somehow fell asleep.
I woke up with a minute and a helf left. I shook him awake.
"Izuku." I told him softly." His eyes fluttered open causing a pit to form in my stomach.
Butterflies.
"We have a minute left." I told him.
His eyes opened wide.
"Well what do you what to do?" He asked.
"I don't know, I just want to do something super cool." I told him.
He eyed the edge.
"What if right before time starts again we hit the water?" He asked.
"Yes you're a genius!" I told him kissing his cheek then jumping up. He got up to holding the place that I kissed him. We stood a few meters away from the edge. We had 10 seconds left.
I took his hand.
"Go!" I smiled and we ran towards the edge.
Not letting go a few seconds later we hit the water. If felt cool nice and a surge of energy sprung through me.
I took his other hand under the water and looked into his eyes as there were 3 seconds left.

We were back on the sidewalk, same distance apart as we were when I saw him. Coffee in hand my eyes were still on his.
We decided to go to a more secluded area to talk about it. Since people might think we're a little weird if two strangers were all "holy shit I love you" especially if they haven't found their soulmates yet.
"That was amazing!" He told me scooping me up into a hug.
"Hell yeah it was!" I told him.
Though we were completely dry I still felt to coolness of it.
Drawback of this. Even though we napped that didn't mean we were tired. Just comfortable. And it didn't make us any less tired. With the adrenaline pumping through my veins decreasing I knew I was going to fall asleep once I got home. Since it's like I actually stayed up for 24 hours.
He was talking about how his mom would love me.
"I want to meet her then." I told him. Surprise spread across his face.
Later in our 24 hours we told each other about the good and the bad stuff. We're an open book to each other.
He even knew about my dad which Most kids in my homeroom class don't know about. And I've known them since kindergarten.
"Okay, I live like 5 minutes away come on." He said.
He said he wanted to meet my mom but I told him she was working tonight but he could meet her tomorrow.
It was also a weekend so his mom was off work.
He opened the door and peaked his head inside.
"Mom!" He said.
"Izuku! How was your run?" She asked.
"Well I didn't really run that much but I want you to meet someone!" He told her.
Now that I realize it he was wearing workout cloths.
He opened the door completely to reveal me.
"Who's this? Your girlfriend?" She wiggled her eyebrows. I blushed.
"Actually, uh. We're soulmates." He told her.
She jumped out of her chair and mom speed walked over to us. Then squeezed us a lot harder then I thought she could. Strong mom.
"Oh my goodness! I want to hear all about it what did you do what happened?" She asked.
"We just saw each other walking down the street nothing to extreme." He told her rubbing the back of his head. He realized our hands were interlocked. Her phone buzzed.
"Shoot, I need to get to work! You two watch a movie or something I won't be to long. Don't do anything irresponsible, while I'm gone." She said.
I knew what she was getting at and me and Izuku both blushed, no we didn't just blush. We morphed into tomatoes.
We sat down and watched a movie and didn't dare sit less then 25 centimeters apart. Though the fatigue was finally setting in and we did end up scooting closer together. My head fell onto his shoulder and his head fell on top of mine. Our hands were interlocked under the fuzzy blanket.
I did only know him for a day but I was with him for the whole day, spent the whole learning about him laughing with him sharing secrets. I'm closer to him then I am to anyone else I've known for years.
He kissed my forehead and fell into a dreamless sleep. I woke up to my phone vibrating. I accidentally woke up Izuku as I was shifting.
"It's my mom, got to take this." I told him getting up.
He smiled at me drowsily.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Where the hell are you I've been waiting for you at home for an hour and a half I'm worried!" My mother yelled over the phone. I'm sure Izuku heard it.
"Well it's a very long story." I told her.
"I've got time!" She yelled sarcastically.
"Well I was walking down the street this morning, and well, I saw my soulmate. You know that Midorya guy from UA yeah him and we went to that cool woods place by the pond you told me about and we drank my coffee then later when the 24 hours was up we fell asleep while watching a movie." I told her.
Her breath hitched.
"Like I'd believe that! You're probably drinking! Your bothers used the soulmate trick on me too." She told me.
"No mom I'm serious I'm with him right now." I told her.
"Let me talk to him I have a few questions." She told me.
I love my mom, died great but thanks to my brothers poor reputation she always assumes I'm getting into trouble.
"Izuku, my mom wants to talk to you." I laughed.
"What! I don't know!" He stuttered. I shoved the phone at him.
"Hi Mrs. L/n." He said in a high pitch voice.
"Y/n! You were serious what the hell why didn't you call me?!" My mom said at a defining volume.
"Mom don't blow my soulmates eardrums out. You were working an extra shift I didn't want to bother you." I told her taking back the phone.
"Eh Eh, Don't give me excuses I want to meet him." She said stubbornly.
"Mom-."
"No it's okay." I heard midorya say.
"You sure she's a handful." I told him after muting myself from the call.
"Yeah." He smiled still blushing.
"We'll be there in like 10 minutes." I signed.
"great! And if you do that again without telling me I swear you're grounded." She told me.
"Ok mom, I'll be right over." I laughed as she hung up.
Midorya texted his mom and told her we're he was going.
The sun was setting. We took one long ass nap. My neck was a little stiff but it was worth it.
I knocked on my apartment door and it swung open.
"Kids! Y/n your brother just got here he wants to meet midorya too!"
"Izuku's fine." Izuku told her shyly.
"No! He can not meet him he'll bite his head off!" I told my mother.
Izuku looked scared.
"Not actually." I reassured.
My bother walked out of his room, he had black hair blue eyes and had gages I'm his ears. Peak emo trouble child. He surprisingly had a bunch of friends.
He eyed Izuku. My brother is in his last year of high school, he's also weirdly tall, so Izuku looks like an ant compared to him.
"H-hello! I'm Izuku Midorya!" Izuku said bowing.
My brothers been the man of the house since our dad died. He scares all the boys away.
"I know who you are. You're that kid that's always getting into trouble with villains." My brother said.
"B/n! Don't be such a jerk!" I slapped his arm.
"If you're gonna get y/n hurt I'd suggest you for about you seeing my sister ever again." He narrowed his eyes at the younger boy.
"B/n! That's enough! He's not gonna get me into any trouble you're the one that got your license suspended because you were drinking and driving!" I told him.
He made an angry face at me.
My brothers quirk was emotion reading, so he can literally smell fear. And any other emotion for that matter.
And I'm sure he can tell how much I like Izuku and he's trying to ruin my chances.
"Whatever I'm going out, let hope no villains come around." He announces pulling his jacket over him and reaching for the door handle.
"Screw you! I bet dad never let you act this way!" I told him. He slammed the door, hard. His soulmate rejected him, she was the popular girl at his school. And he was the weird emo kid. That didn't work out so good.
My whole family's had bad experiences with soulmates, I don't want to keep that going.
"I'm sorry Izuku, I didn't mean-."
"It's fine, he's not wrong." He told me.
"Don't say that he just likes getting under people's skin." I told him.
"Izuku honey I'm very sorry about my son, he can be a handful he hasn't had the best experiences with soulmates." My mother told him.
Well my brother didn't get straight out rejected. He read her emotions it basically said "ew this weirdo." Disgust is what she felt basically. And he knew. She was trying to hide it and be nice. Wait for the 24 hours to end. But he ran of and spent 24 hours in his room with the time stopped. Nothing moving. Nothing to do. No one to talk to. Nothing. I feel bad for him. Sometimes I hope he's one of the few people that have more then one. Some people have two soul though even fewer ever meet them. It's the universe making a mistake.
And some people look at their soulmate and time doesn't stop till their ready. Till it's ment to happen.
I went outside to see Izuku off, I wasn't going to let him be in that toxic situation even though my brother may be gone.
"I'm really sorry about him. His soulmate rejected him and he's been gloomy ever since." I told him wrapping my arms around his neck.
"It's okay really, I know someone that's mad about stuff that happened in the past." He told me gripping my waist. It felt wrong to kiss him in the middle of the night out on the empty street but no one was gonna stop me.
Our lips connected moving in perfect sync. We separated a little soon because neither of us got a breath before.
"I'm so glad I found you." He told me pressing his forehead against mine.
"Same here." I smiled rubbing his hair.After math time. (Izuku and Y/n tell their friends)
"Ahhh! Why can't I just find my soulmate already!" One of my F/n wined as me and O/f/n walked home from school.
I blushed no one knows about me and Izuku yet.
"Y/n why are you blushing?" O/f/n asked as he looked down at me.
"Well, uhm. During the summer I found my soulmate." I told them.
They both gasped at me.
"Are you serious?! Who!?" F/n asked.
"I bet he's a hunk." O/f/n asked.
He just wants to find his own hunk of man, b my hunk of man in mine.
"Izuku Midorya." I told them covering my face with my hands.
"You you fucking serious?!" O/f/n stopped in front of me and wiggled me by my shoulders.
"Are you kidding?" F/n asked.
"I can prove it." I told her.
"How?" They both asked. Though I'm sure o/f/n didn't question me f/n did.
I pulled out my phone and called him. I'm sure he was out of class by now.
"Hey y/n what's up?" He asked.
"Izuku, I just told my friends about us and they don't believe me." I told him.
"I believed you from the beginning!" F/n exclaimed.
"Oh yeah sureeeeeee." I rolled my eyes playfully.
"W-well I don't know how to prove it." Izuku told them.
"You literally just did-."
"Send a picture with a spoon on your head!" O/f/n yelled.
"Dude! You literally said you believed me before I called him!"
"I know but it's funny!"
He sent a picture with a spoon on his head.
"There!" I told f/n.
"I'm jelous." She said.
"Oh what?"
"I want a soulmate!" She said as a boy walked past.
The next second they were running into each other's arms.
"I found him and his names yoshati!" She yelled.
"Uhhhh." Me and o/f/n stared.
I got home still on the phone with Izuku.
"I have something to tell you and it's really freaking me out." He said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You know how my parents aren't soulmates? And my mom just hasn't found hers?" He asked.
"Well she found him, he's-."
Haha, cliff hangerIzukus turn.
Uraraka and Tenya were talking about the probability of any of them meeting their soulmate.
"Right now between the 3 of us it's zero." Ururaka sighed.
"Actually..." I rubbed the back of my head.
They both widened their eyes at me.
"I met mine this summer." I told them awkwardly.
"What?!" Ururaka squealed.
"Is this a practical Joke?" Tenya questioned.
"No, her names y/n l/n." I told them.
"What's her quirk I read somewhere where two people with similar quirk levels are more likely to me soulmates." Ururaka added.
I was born quirkless, no wonder.
"She's quirkless. I guess the chance isn't zero." I told them.
Ururaka noticed a meme in there.
"The probability of your soulmate being quirkless is low, but never zero!" She laughed.
"What?" Tenya asked.
I was walking to my dorm when all might stopped me.
"Oh! All Might!" I jumped. Even in his normal form he gives off an intimidating vibe. (Lmao never thought he'd be using the word vibe)
"I'm heard someone rumors that you've found your soulmate this summer." All might told me.
"Wow, news travels fast huh?" I rubbed the back of my neck.
"So it's true?!" He said happily.
I nodded.
"Does she know about one for all? Or him! Or they! I know who what your into!" He said quickly.
"It's a girl! And yes!" I said flustered. (If you're a girl.)
"Tell me about her." All might told me. It's weird having a casual conversation with him since I've adored him for so long.
"Her makes y/n l/n, she's really pretty. She likes black coffee, and her brothers really scary." I told him.
"What'd her quirk?" He asked.
"She uh, doesn't have one." I told him.
"Makes sense, you were born without one." He thought out loud.
"Yeah, we met just walking down the street." I told him.
"What did you do in that 24 hours?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows.
I was officially shocked that he would say something in such an embarrassing way.
"We just talked! And we listened to music and right before the time started again we jumped into a pond thats it!" I told him covering my face.
"Okay I believe you young midorya. And your mother wanted me to tell you something. It's been a long time coming but I think you should know." He said.
With his words I stood up straighter.
"Me and your mother, we're well, soulmates."
I literally started to die.
"What, huh, why? When?" I asked.
"Well, when we first say each other but for your own good, we decided not to tell you." He told me.
I knew my parents weren't soulmates. My father was rejected and never found his reject. And my mother never found hers as all. It was all might the whole time.....
I got a call from y/n.
"I really have to take this it's her." I told him.
"Of course! I will see you tomorrow young midorya!" He waved.
I answered the call to hear her and a few others chattering.
